NFL Rumors: Giants, Bengals Show Interest in WR Kenny Golladay

Golladay, 27, had an injury-plagued 2020 season but is one of the best wideouts available on the free agency market.

As the NFL free agency market continues to progress, teams are beginning to show an interest in former Pro Bowl wideout Kenny Golladay. The Giants have reportedly been in talks with Golladay, and there is mutual interest between both parties, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

The Bengals have also made Golladay a one-year deal, according to ESPN's Dianna Russini. That would reunite Golladay with Cincinnati offensive coordinator Brian Callahan, who was the quarterbacks coach with the Lions during Golladay's rookie year.

The 27-year-old Golladay had a difficult year in 2020, appearing in just five games due to injury. From 2018-19, Golladay had 135 catches for 2,253 yards and 16 touchdowns. He led the league with 11 touchdown grabs in 2019, making his first career Pro Bowl.
